Pilgrimage
Peregrinação
Synopsis
Based on the 16th-century memoir by Fernão Mendes Pinto, the film reimagines the extraordinary voyages of one of the first Europeans to travel the Far East — India, Japan, and beyond. Over twenty years, Pinto serves as adventurer, writer, soldier, slave, and envoy, navigating wonder and hardship across unfamiliar worlds. João Botelho transforms this picaresque classic into a visually inventive cinematic odyssey.
